Default Mounting location Q's

First one is my BOV. I mounted it about 7-8 inches from the throttle body as I have seen others mount it there. I then read somewhere posted that it should be ATLEAST 12" from the tb plate. Will this cause any issues?

Next is the o2 sensor bung. I have seen some right off the DP maybe 4-5 inches but I use a wideband all the time using simulated narrow output to the ECU. My concern is heat. What would be a good distance for accurate readings that is safe for widebands.

Last is my dumptube. Using an external wg obviuosly, how far should I re-enter into my exhaust? I do not want an open dump and plan to join it back up somewhere near the bottum of the oil pan where the exhaust starts to bend. I was thinking 18-20 inches with the least amount of an angle possible as to not disrupt flow. Opinions and facts very welcome thanks!

1.i think ull be alright with where u put the bov. i actually read that u want it as close to the tb as possible b/c thats where the back up begins when u let off the gas.

2. mount the wideband before the cat. and atleast 24" past the engine.

3.i would put the dumptube back in ur exhaust where it straitens out under the oilpan(if u can). but like u said the big thing is not disrubting the flow coming out of the turbo, and being able to get ur dp on and off the car easily.
